Well the first 5 books are very much a self contained narrative. The second 5 books are like era 2 mistborn. If that helps

You should just join the Greens. Your party is more of the same Labour boys club. Corbyn has shown that he doesn't care to listen to us

Let's look at how Trans+ kids' voices were sidelined in new sex ed 'Section 28 2.0' rules over:

🔴 Sex Matters
🔴 Transgender Trend
🔴 Safe Schools Alliance
🔴 Bayswater Support Group

“It was still clear that they valued other viewpoints (specifically transphobic viewpoints) above ours." 🧵

They just don't like being held accountable. It was never about free speech.

WTF! Aren’t these the people who have spent the past decade demanding free speech and decrying cancel culture??

For it to be larger, it needs to exist in the first place. All he did was acknowledge that he has screwed us over. No remorse or anything

KaylaPops @ohkayla.bsky.social · Sep 17

What fucking olive branch. All he did was to acknowledge the harm he and this government have done to the trans community. No hint that anything will be improved. Some pushback @theguardian.com would have been nice.

We all live in bubbles. You just need to make sure you know those limitations and look outside every once in a while. Be aware of what is being fed to you by your own cultivated connections. Some people like the illusion of their bubbles. Others don't have that privilege
